A Grand Canyon chapter of the People For the West!
was formed Jan. 14. Its goals include unrestricted access to public
lands, gaining state and county control of federal lands, and
preventing federal land managers from interfering with “free
enterprise” pursuits such as mining, grazing and logging. The
chapter also wants to end federal restrictions on air tours over
the Grand Canyon, reports the Arizona Daily Sun. By unanimous votes
of 8-to-0, the chapter elected Angus McIntosh as president and
Yancy O’Barr as vice president. McIntosh is a range conservationist
at the Tusayan district of the Forest Service. O’Barr works for the
Federal Aviation Administration as an air traffic controller at
Grand Canyon National Park Airport, just south of the
park.
